In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the field of 3D printing technology. Among the various technologies available, fused deposition modeling (FDM) has emerged as the most popular and widely used method. However, achieving optimal results with FDM presents a significant challenge due to the selection of appropriate process parameters. Therefore, the objective of this research was to investigate the impact of process parameters on the tribological and frictional behavior of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polylactic acid (PLA) 3D-printed parts. The design of experiments (DOE) technique was used considering the input design parameters (infill percentage and layer thickness) as variables. The friction coefficient values and the wear were determined by experimental testing of the polymers on a universal tribometer employing plane friction coupling. Multi-response optimization methodology and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to highlight the dependency between the coefficient of friction, surface roughness parameters, and wear on the process parameters. The optimization analysis revealed that the optimal 3D printing input parameters for achieving the minimum coefficient of friction and linear wear were found to be an infill percentage of 50% and layer thickness of 0.1 mm (for ABS material), and an infill percentage of 50%, layer thickness of 0.15 mm (for PLA material). The suggested optimization methodology (which involves minimizing the coefficient of friction and cumulative linear wear) through the optimized parameter obtained provides the opportunity to select the most favorable design conditions contributing to a more sustainable approach to manufacturing by reducing overall material consumption.

This study aimed to identify the optimum printing parameters for the fused filament fabrication (FFF) of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polyamide (nylon), to improve strength properties. For this purpose, the methodology of the paper involves an experimental study that used Taguchi’s method to identify the effects of the infill pattern, infill density, and printing speed on the mechanical properties of the materials. ABS and nylon plastic parts were tested in tension to failure. Based on the results of the tensile tests, it was found that ABS material produced the highest ultimate tensile strength when printed using a tri-hexagonal infill pattern, 100% infill density, and a printing speed of 65 mm/s. On the other hand, nylon material exhibited a better performance when printed using an octet geometric structure, with identical other parameters.

“…FDM is a 3D printing method in which material is continuously fed into the print head and the product is created. However, the printed parts fabricated from the FDM method require setting up the printing process parameters accordingly, including the parameters Layer height, Infill density, print speed, and wall thickness [6,7]. The above values affect dimensional accuracy and poor mechanical properties, surface quality is not acceptable, increasing cost and time [8].…”

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) printing method is widely used in the manufacture of technical parts. The article aims to present the survey results of 3D printing parameters (layer height, printing speed, wall thickness) that affect the deviation of product created by the FDM printing method. In this study, 3D scanning technology was applied to measure and check the error of each printed hole. Taguchi method is used in the experiment to design and process data in Minitab software to generate results to evaluate the input values of the investigation. The research results show that the print speed parameter has the highest influence on the error whereas the print wall thickness parameter has the lowest effect. The research results can be used to eliminate the error in making samples by the FDM method.
